“Our family is so grateful for Courtney. Your dedication to the animals is greatly appreciated. Always on time & going above & beyond with your care. You deserve every bit of 5 stars”
“Robert was fantastic! Not sure how we got lucky enough to snag him on a holiday weekend with little notice, but we’re so glad we did! From the meet and greet to his last visit, we felt extremely comfortable leaving our pets in Robert’s capable hands. He was very communicative, and we absolutely loved the videos and pictures while we were away. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”
“Gabrielle treated my dog like she would her own. She followed directions perfectly and was on time. She even sent me some pretty cute action shots of her running in the back yard! I will 1000% use her again to watch my pup! 10/10!”
“Jacquelyn took great care of the dogs. I received pupdates every day, and they always seemed like they were having a good time. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Kelly has been an absolute blessing. She has helped me give injections to my cat over the past six weeks. She is incredibly kind, often brining a treat for Ciri, and helping me to keep my sanity by calming a very anxious kitty.”
“Bethany was super helpful and accommodated a last-minute booking for us. Our pups seemed very happy and relaxed while we were away. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“I was told of Rover.com from a co-worker who had used your service, but I was a little apprehensive going on to the Rover.com website because I did not know what to expect but quickly realized there were folks (sitters) I knew, and that eased my mind. I like how you set it up the meet-and-greet to see if the sitter and dog(s) match. While I was on vacation, I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands. I do greatly appreciate Stacy and her calm demeanor with my Ammo, who is a little protective of me, but she took to Stacy, and all was well. Thank you all for the service you provide and for Stacy who did an outstanding job ensuring my little ones were good each day. A believer of Rover.com Josué”
“Lindsey was available kind of last minute and worked with our schedule to be able to do a pre-meeting. She sent pictures and communicated with each visit to check on our sweet cats. We felt confident that our loved ones were in good hands so we could relax and enjoy our vacation!”
“Highly recommend Yentl for any of your pet care needs! This was my first time using Rover and I really lucked out finding Yentl. Since it was my first time leaving my cat with someone new I was really nervous and she took amazing care of my baby. Thanks again Yen!!!”
“Ariel was really great with my cats. She played with the kittens and made sure to love on my older cat too. She sent pictures and reports after each visit so I knew how everyone was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. Thanks, Ariel!”
About: I have had animals most of my life and have volunteered for the Humane Society and several animal shelters. I went to school for and worked as a veterinary technician. No dog is too small or too big. I will also take care of cats. I have 4 dogs or my own ranging from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. I will gladly stay overnight if needed. I work 7 days on 7 days off. I am looking to sit primarily on my off week so I devote my full attention to your fur baby. I will adhere to the standards you set. I will walk them as much as you would like as well as provide food and treats on your schedule. I will give them plenty of attention. I will gladly send pictures of their time with me.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I got my Stella in 2020. Shortly after, I also got Charlie, and more recently I got Bagel. I love to take them on walks, to the dog park, and treat them to pup-cups. On occasion, I have also helped out with babysitting puppies and dogs for family friends. I love any dogs, big or small. I’m currently a full time student at USC-Sumter with a part-time job outside of Rover, but I can still make plenty of time to play with your pups! If I can make time for my dogs, it’s no problem with yours. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to make new furry friends. I can easily help your dog feel welcomed in my home or make them more comfortable with me being in yours.
“Helen took such amazing care of my little girl, Fiona! I was in a crunch to find someone to drop in and Helen really saved the day and spoiled my girl with so much love and attention while I was gone. I think Fiona loves Helen more than she loves me now! So far she’s been Fiona’s favorite sitter and I’m very excited to book with her again soon.”
About: As a dedicated animal lover with a family legacy of operating three successful boarding and grooming kennels in Maryland, I am passionate about providing exceptional animal care. With a decade of experience working at Countryside Kennels in Owings, MD, and Countrysides Pet Resort in Hughesville, MD, I developed a robust foundation in animal care. I then pursued a veterinary career, working for three years at Animal Eye Care. After relocating, I worked at Branches vet in Tifton, GA, and Southside Vet in Moultrie, GA. In 2021, I moved to Sumter, SC, and worked at Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in Lugoff, SC for three years. In addition to my veterinary experience, I operate a side business, At Your Service, offering house cleaning and pet sitting services since 2007. With my expertise in grooming and possession of necessary equipment, I am confident in providing exceptional care for your pets. My eleven-year-old child also shares my passion for animal care! Please consider my services for your pet care needs. Working remotely has given me the opportunity to prioritize Rover as my main source of income, allowing me to be more readily available to assist with pet care needs. I am committed to ensuring your pet's comfort and will take all necessary steps to achieve this goal. I am confident in my ability to assess your pet's behavior and provide a comfortable experience, allowing you to be at ease.
About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.
About: I've always loved dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, any kind of animal, I love them! I would lay down my life for an animal if it came down to it. I have a dog and cat that I love more than anything else. If you need me to pet sit, then I'll be there! I can be there for your pet whenever you need me! And I mean whenever, weekends, anytime. Besides if I'm on vacation, which I hardly ever have one. I can't take pets into my home but I will gladly travel to your home and take care of your pets there! I will follow all instructions you have for me and I will make sure your pets feel as loved and cared for as possible. I have an elder German shepherd and a middle aged cat that I take good care of. I feed my German shepherd twice a day and feed my cat once a day. I always check to see if they need more water and fill their bowl and fountain if they get low. I also play with them a bunch, like my dog who likes to play fetch with his ball, or my cat who sometimes likes me to use his wand toy.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was kid. I grew up around lots of dogs, and have taken care of friends and family’s dog. I’m in the military, but I work your typical 8-4 and off on weekends. So plenty of free time to watch or walk your pets ! I take very good care of my two cats ! And have always prioritized animal safety when watching someone else’s pets. Also animal cpr certified
